Just received phone call. No one responded to my 2 or 3, "Hello"s. Came here via Google to find everyone within the past hour is saying that this caller told them they are from the IRS. Just posting for guidance on tips:
From the IRS's .gov webpage. ( http://www.irs.gov/uac/Don%E2%80%99t-be-Scammed-by-Fake-IRS-Communications )
If you receive a phone call, fax or letter in the mail from an individual claiming to be from the IRS but you suspect they are not an IRS employee, contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 to determine if the IRS has a legitimate need to contact you. Report any bogus correspondence.
You can help shut down these schemes and prevent others from being victimized. Details on how to report specific types of scams and what to do if you’ve been victimized are available at http://www.irs.gov, keyword “phishing.”
